Following the success of the initial presentation in 2018, Firstsite present a second collaboration with 'flyingleaps', an organisation that commissions artists to create posters in response to contemporary politics, events and ideas.

Initially installed on public billboards and street sites, the designs aim to create a thought provoking pause in an environment that is often cluttered with advertising and commercial imagery.

The presentation includes posters designed by artists see below comment for artists Artist Taxi Driver, Magda Archer, Marcus Harvey, kennardphillipps, Robert Montgomery and Mark Titchner.

flyingleaps: Art on the streets is part of Firstsite’s programme theme of Conflict and Culture. It is exhibited alongside Courage Calls To Courage Everywhere, an exhibition documenting the creation of Turner Prize-winning artist Gillian Wearing’s recently-unveiled statue of Suffragist leader Millicent Fawcett, situated in Parliament Square, London.
